Recognizing patient mental health in hospitals and its importance.

What you can do

Patient mental health is something that, through immense focus on the improvement of physical health, can often times be overlooked. Through a psychological perspective, however, it is pertinent that there is a parallelism between patient mental health and patient physical health.

After noting the negative impacts of long term stays on patient mental health, a parallelism was determined between mental and physical health. For many, they can’t leave their rooms, causing isolationism. If you know of a loved one you can visit in the hospital, it would greatly improve their mental health, if not, though, it is important to connect with them via phone or message. It is important to become an ally of patient mental health to make our world a happier and healthier place!
